Frequently asked questions about Damper Inspection
How often must fire/smoke dampers be tested?
NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 require each fire, smoke and combination fire/smoke damper to be tested and inspected one year after installation, then every 4 years, extended to every 6 years in hospitals, provided the hospital's testing program otherwise conforms to NFPA 80/105.
What does the test involve?
The damper is operated through its full cycle (the blade or curtain must close completely, and reopen where applicable, without binding or obstruction), then reset and restored to its normal position, with the access panel checked for condition and accessibility.
